Abby Meehan
No full textAbby Meehan was a British fashion journalist, whose brief but distinctive engagement with film arguably gave birth to a new genre, the cinemagazine (McKernan 2008, ix-x). Her father, Bartholomew Meehan, was an antiquarian bookseller originally from Cork, who moved from Ireland to Liverpool, then Swansea in Wales, where Abby, the eldest of four children, was born in 1853. The Irish Catholic family finally settled in Bath, England. The family business was located at 1 Henrietta Street, from where Meehan and her sister Catherine established a millinery shop around 1880
Searching for Mary Murillo
No full textIn this chapter, the author highlights the value of online newspaper archives and digitized census, family history, and other sources that he consulted in his research about little-known scriptwriter from the silent era, Mary Murillo. He begins with a background on Murillo, a screenwriter in American cinema for ten years, then worked in British films for six or more years, and moved to work in French films at the start of the talkies. The fact that she had almost disappeared from dominant film history narratives says much about how women filmmakers have been allowed to slip out of the history of early film and about the low status of scriptwriters generally. The author traces the journey he took in trying to know more about Murillo, from typing her name into Google and sifting through family history sources, shipping records, databases, census records, newspapers, contemporary movie guides, trade papers, archives, and asking people. In a postscript, he talks about additional information that has emerged about Murillo since he first investigated her in 2009.</p
